Cowrie Scholarship Foundation

Creating a new future for 100+ disadvantaged Black British students through university scholarships.

The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation supports disadvantaged Black British students into Higher Education at UK universities.

We believe that learning in Higher Education can transform a person’s life and the community around them, creating a more equitable society and more diverse future leaders.

Education transforms lives

We empower Black British undergraduates by providing fully funded scholarships (fees + living expenses) in partnership with universities, donors and businesses, supported by mentors.

Many issues influence the lack of Black British students in UK universities; financial support is a key way to address access, attainment and social mobility.

We were set up in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd and renewed global focus on the Black experience. Our response is to provide 100+ full Scholarships for Black British students by 2030.

Black and Minority Ethnic students are under-represented at UK universities.
